1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The greatest advantage of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty over full-thickness corneal transplantation is the elimination of graft failure caused by endothelial rejection. Despite this advantage, a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty graft can fail because of several factors, such as complications related to the donor-recipient interface, graft epithelial abnormalities, graft vascularization, stromal graft rejection, and recurrence of herpetic keratitis. Increased deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty graft survival is mainly built upon optimization of the ocular surface to provide a hospitable environment for the graft. Any predisposing factors for graft epithelial abnormalities, corneal neovascularization, and preexisting vernal keratoconjunctivitis should be identified and treated preoperatively. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment of interface-related complications and stromal graft rejection usually result in good anatomic outcomes, with no detrimental effects on vision.
